Besides being one of the largest Materials Engineering programme in the world, Materials Science in NTU is ranked #1 by the US News Global Universities Rankings and #6 by QS World University Rankings by Subject. Her large and diverse faculty allows students to leverage on the expertise of our internationally-renowned professors in the field of Materials Engineering. You will also be in the company of a larger cohort that translates to a larger industry network because of our alumni numbers.

In addition, NTU MSE offers the Work-Study Degree programme, an opportunity to connect you to industries as early as possible, and for a longer duration.  Aside from work terms with companies, you will be undertaking an industry-sponsored final year project.

MSE students have the advantage of gaining a degree that offers adaptability for employment across a range of industries. The robustness of the programme provides graduates with in-depth knowledge in fundamental sciences and engineering. Through this, our graduates value-add to the industry and the future economy by filling the gaps of other engineering disciplines. In addition, materials engineers provide expertise in materials for real-world applications that forms the foundation of products and services offered by many industries.

We also recommend “Stuff Matters” by Mark Miodownik, to find out more about materials science, which is available in the National Library.

The School’s Academic Office will send an email to all students before they begin their semester with information on bridging courses. Module summaries and suggested readings are also available on the MSE website.

Refresher courses for freshmen (Math and Physics) are conducted by College of Engineering (CoE). The lessons normally commence around July (in-person or e-learning). More information will be released by CoE at a later date.

Additionally, for MSE students, all freshmen will be enrolled on a preparatory course on topics relevant to MSE. More information on the preparatory course will be sent around mid-July

Materials Engineering with a 2nd Major in Entrepreneurship has been offered from AY2021/22.

Students may also take elective modules that focus on entrepreneurship. In addition, the Nanyang Technopreneurship Center (NTC) equips its students with the requisite knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship competence through the Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme (OEP) for undergraduates.

Students can hone their entrepreneurial mindset and skills by submitting a project in the annual Ian Ferguson Innovation Challenge. These are projects that are relevant to materials science and engineering. Teams must demonstrate creativity and provide original and practical solutions to an engineering problem. Link
